I think BB is pretty much gone. WM buried the second one of him, after all. Notice that none of the other heroes has actually died yet? (This includes BM, as his body was intact enough for him to be banished back into it.) I think it's because WM has yet to learn Life. If she'd known it, she could have used it on the second BB instead of burying him, or revived any number of the countless people who have died in her presence (case in point, when BM knocked down the tower right before they fled to get the Water Orb). For that matter, RM is the only one who carries items, and that's been limited to Potions so far. No Ethers, no Tents, no Phoenix Downs. If anybody actually dies, there's nothing anybody so far can do to help them.

The simple fact is that fighter is the most competent of all the light warriors.
Be he stupid or just a clever actor, fighter is STILL the most competent. Also, he is pure win.

Also... when is past-thief going to show up to steal the class change from present (formerly future)-thief?

and WM is the creator of the univarse couldnt she just will the univarse to do things? like breing BB back... oh wait that would not work he binds reality around him so much maybe she could not will him back? any way if she still has the Creator Power(tm) then couldnt she just fix things with her mind?

In regards to Thief:

I've really been hoping that would happen.

I mean REALLY hoping that would happen :D

Edit: The universe was only listening at the very beginning. Now that it's created it's stopped paying attention

Future Thief will prevent Past Thief from stealing his Class Change, but Future Thief is also so good at stealing that even with the past altered, he still keeps his Class Change. Or it will be stolen, and the rest will lose their Class Change, too, leading to an arc of the Light Warriors in despair (and right after BM learns enough awesomeness to make up for wearing clown attire and the whole having to get hurt part). Or it will be part of a whole epilogue thing. Or you can use your imaginationg to pretend it happens post-ending. Or Nrik forgot about it. Or it was just a matter comedy/humour/humor over continuity. Or a wizard did it.

No "or" about it.

I WAS KIDDING!! I didnt mean to start up the BB thing again.

thats a lot of 'or's... but I still feel you missed a few
-Or immediately after past-thief steals the upgrade from future-thief, future-thief steals an even better upgrade from even-further-into-the-future-thief
-Or he stole it from an alternate future (ie. different univarse/universe) in the first place so it will never come up.

...speaking of alternate realities the BB from another reality could easily get lost looking for a bathroom and wind up here... unless Brian has pulled a "Douglass Adams" on BB
(Douglass Adams got sick of the Hitchhikers Guide "trilogy" in the 5th book and destroyed the earth and all the characters throughout all existence.)

I'm afraid of what Fighter is capable of.

Good.
Fighter is capable of amazing powers.

Fighter...well he doesn't fuck up as much as Red Mage at least.

I wonder whom BM hates more now? RM or Fighter
